Hi,
I am not at the end of ALL the roads. I had a NCR scsi controler but this
could not detect my harddisk witk either Linux or FreeBSD. Since there are
a lot of postings about trouble with NCR cards and Linux, I swapped this with
a Future Domain TMC-3260 card, since in the Linux documentation it says that 
this will work without problems for any configuration.

But no way, same problem, what is it ? Under linux I still get the 0 hosts 
detected. And under BSD  I cannot get it to detect the harddisk, although I 
gets the PCI display controller.

INYH.

Nico.
